Class 1A all-state baseball, softball: Ascension Catholic, Catholic-Pointe Coupee, False River make their mark on teams – The Advocate

Playing on a team that wins a state title can help a player attain postseason honors. No titles in either Class 1A or Division IV proved to be no problem for players from Ascension Catholic, Catholic-Pointe Coupee and False River Academy.

The three metro area schools placed players on the Louisiana Sports Writers Associations Class 1A All-State baseball and softball teams.

Ascension Catholic, a Division IV semifinalist in baseball and a quarterfinalist in softball, put four players on the LSWA squads. Division IV Catholic-PC has two players on the softball squad, while FRA has one softball player

LaSalles Keeley Parham and Ascension Episcopals Jeffrey Elkins lead the 1A squads. Parham was voted the Outstanding Player for softball after hitting .500 with 41 RBIs. She also had a 10-4 mark in the circle for the 1A champions. Elkins, a University of Louisiana at Lafayette signee, led AES to the Division IV title with a .626 batting average with 11 home runs and was voted the Outstanding Player for baseball.

LaSalles Michael Duke (baseball) and Derek White (softball) received the Coach of the Year honors after leading their teams to 1A titles.

Ascension Catholic senior baseball standouts who are also LSU-Eunice signees, Landon Clifton (10-4, 1.95) and Nick Bellina (.420, 39 RBIs), are part of the LSWA baseball squad. The Bulldogs Ceily Grisaffe (.417, 19 RBIs) and Isabelle Abadie (.373, 20 RBIs) made the softball squad.
